Okay, first - I think you should coordinate your posting schedule to a time when I'm NOT AT WORK. LOL

I peeked at my inbox at work today and then, as payment for my sins, had to wait six hours to read your fic! :)

Awesome, wonderful, just simply perfect. I'm an h/c junkie especially with the emphasis on "c." The equal opportunity whumpage and the fact you just write the boys and their relationship extremely well makes for a big sigh-inducing bro-mo.

And yay...a real, honest to God story. Mystery, casework involves, the whole shebang. That's not easy to find these days.

Urgh! I can't believe you ended the chapter with underwater convulsions. That's harsh. :) Seriously, though, I'm very much looking forward to this story. I loved the other two, and I think you've got a really good feel for how the brothers interact with each other, each of them trying to pick up the slack for the other. Nice job, can't wait for more. :)

Well, you know I loved this when I first read it way back in the beginning part of the year, but the changes you made in your second draft made an already awesome story even more awesome. The depth you give your characters when you write suck you in with every word, and this story is no different. I love the transition of teasing Dean to worried Dean, and of course a generous topping of hurt little brother always adds the final cherry to the cake.

A very good long chapter. I enjoyed the relative peace and comfort the boys experienced for a good amount of time. But I was kind of glad to hear the voices and see the image at the end of the chapter. And I did enjoy the image in my mind of a dripping wet, bare-chested Dean standing in the glow of the sunlight in a pair of wet swim trunks. Oh yes, I did enjoy that. I look forward to chapter 2. Thank You.

lovely that you are continuing on with those two stories...nice to think of the boys relaxing (well as much as they can) and just being brothers, but then you put the boys in bathing suits! Yeah! :-) great start..looking forward to more
